Specific Aim 1: Determine the efficacy of multi-component CBT-I compared to a wait-list control group on self report and laboratory-based polysomnographic (PSG) sleep parameters. We hypothesize that multicomponent CBT-I will increase sleep efficiency, reduce the frequency of awakenings, reduce wake after sleep onset, and increase sleep bout duration compared to the control group evaluated using polysomnographic (PSG) and self-report measures of sleep.
Specific Aim 2a: Test the efficacy of a brief two week single component sleep restriction therapy (SRT) to a wait-list control group on PSG and self-report sleep measures (sleep efficiency, frequency of awakenings, wake after sleep onset, and sleep bout duration). We hypothesize that brief SRT will be efficacious compared to the control condition in women with menopausal-related insomnia.
Specific Aim 2b: Test the comparability (non-inferiority analysis) of SRT to CBT-I. We hypothesize that SRT will produce comparable efficacy in terms of the PSG and self-report measures of sleep compared to CBT-I (primary endpoints: sleep efficiency, frequency of awakenings, wake after sleep onset, and sleep bout duration).
Specific Aim 3: Determine if CBT-I and SRT improves specific aspects of daytime functioning in patients with menopausal-related insomnia. We hypothesize that patients treated with CBT-I or SRT will have greater improvements in depressive symptomatology, quality of life, sleepiness and fatigue compared with a wait list control group.

- Sleep [ Time Frame: 8 months ]Subjects will be evaluated at pre treatment, post treatment and at approximately 6 months follow up. A total of 4 standarized nocturnal PSGs will be performed for each participant (screening night, baseline assessment, and post-treatment night 1 and post treatment night 2. For each participant, self report sleep diaries will be measured in the home nightly throughout the 2-week baseline, treatment protocols, during the 2 weeks immediately post-treatment and for 2 weeks during follow up assessment at 6 months post treatment.
- Depression [ Time Frame: 8 months ]Subjects will be evaluated at pre treatment, post treatment and at approximately 6 months follow up. Depression will be measured by the administration of the Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire(BDI-II).
- Quality of life [ Time Frame: 8 months ]Subjects will be evaluated at pre treatment, post treatment and at approximately 6 months follow up
- Self-Reported Sleep (Diary) [ Time Frame: 8 months ]
Subjects will be evaluated at pre treatment, post treatment and at approximately 6 months follow up. For each participant, self report sleep diaries will be measured in the home nightly throughout the 2-week baseline, treatment protocols, during the 2 weeks immediately post-treatment and for 2 weeks during follow up assessment at 6 months post treatment.
Home based measures (Diary): Wake after sleep onset; sleep efficiency; total sleep time; sleep latency; number of awakenings
